We've learned so much from Harry Potter: don't trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain, to always leave medical care (especially broken bones) to trained professionals, and the proper pronunciation of "leviosa." But there are even more learnings to take away from the magical series than charms and incantations. Here are 40 spellbinding style lessons that even Muggles can take from Harry Potter — no wand required!

Men can rock jewelry, too — just ask Dumbledore's beard bangle.

A little bit of confidence (and a change of clothes) can completely transform your look.

Well-mixed patterns add an air of elegance to any outfit.

Never settle for being ordinary.

Like a fine wine, your personal style grows better with age.

Stuck with a dress code? Then make your accessories count.

Waist-cinching belts are a great way to accentuate your shape.

Not every printed sweater is an ugly Christmas sweater. Don't be afraid to embrace knits!

If you've got a signature style, break up the monotony with statement collars and necklaces.

Don't be afraid to shirk tradition on your wedding day. If you want a black dress, DO IT.

Cutouts are a great way to add complexity to a simple outfit.

Never settle for broken or scratched eyewear — after all, you look at your glasses all day.

When traveling, be sure to pack layers. You never know what the weather will be like!

Nothing beats a trusty leather jacket.

Blazers are a great way to pull an outfit together.

Handmade clothes beat store-bought every time.

"Twinning" doesn't have to mean matchy-matchy clothes. Try complementary colors!

Add a little something extra (like embellishment or a unique detail) to your basic pieces.

Some vintage styles should never be resurrected.

Rocking cotton-candy hair doesn't mean you're stuck with a boring wardrobe.

People are bound to ask questions about your statement accessories. Make it worthwhile.

If done well, body art can look even better than jewelry.

Matching sets are back with a vengeance.

Scarves are a fabulous solution to your bad hair day.

Don't ditch your favorite sundress when it gets cold — layer it with a shirt!

There is nothing wrong with an all-black wardrobe.

Your personality should always shine through your clothes.

Never be afraid to express your cultural identity through fashion.

Muted colors work perfectly for layered outfits.

There's nothing wrong with having a signature style.

There's nothing wrong with matching your outfit to your eyes.

There are some accessories that NOBODY can pull off.

Never believe 'em when they say turtlenecks are "out."

One-piece bathing suits can be even more stunning than bikinis.

A well-fitted suit takes a man to an entirely new level of handsome.

A good set of gloves are worth investing in.

When you want to rep your school (or your Hogwarts house), opt for subtle accessories rather than loud t-shirts.

Businesswear doesn't equal boring.

Don't underestimate the power of good earrings.

A crappy attitude ruins even the fiercest outfits.
